As a long-time crypto skeptic, it could appear odd that I’m serving to set up a digital property convention at Duke College on Jan. 20-21. In spite of everything, I as soon as wrote a Wall Road Journal op-ed calling for a cryptocurrency ban. Whereas I proceed to imagine that unbacked cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, present no financial utility and impose societal prices that vastly outweigh the advantages, I additionally acknowledge that the broader digital asset trade will not be going away.
